For userspace that wants to disable KVM_X86_QUIRK_STUFF_FEATURE_MSRS, it is useful to know what bits can be set to 1 in MSR_PLATFORM_INFO (apart from the TSC ratio). The right way to do that is via /dev/kvm's feature MSR mechanism. In fact, MSR_PLATFORM_INFO is already a feature MSR for the purpose of blocking updates after the vCPU is run, but KVM_GET_MSRS did not return a valid value for it. Just like in a VM that leaves KVM_X86_QUIRK_STUFF_FEATURE_MSRS enabled, the TSC ratio field is left to 0. Only bit 31 is set.
